After many delays, “Mobius” is finally set for release. The script work began about 5 years ago in November 2017, starring Jared Leto and director Daniel Espinosa signed in June 2018, and filming began in 2019. Begins in February and ends in June 2019.
Although “Mobius” was released after “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” the filming of “Mobius” ended without even “Spider-Man: Far from Home.”
And when filming began, “Avengers: Endgame” had not yet been released.
The MCU is an interconnected world, and now with the introduction of the multiverse, coordination among crews is very important.
Although Venom and Morbius’ stories take place in their own universes separate from the MCU, they are loosely linked through Spider-Man.
But they’re largely independent, and most would assume that Sony wouldn’t be involved in Marvel Studios’ plans, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
“Mobius” director Daniel Espinosa revealed in a recent interview with Digital Spy that “Avengers: Endgame” hadn’t been released when “Mobius” began filming, and that he was told of a number of small events, including “Tony Stark Sacrifice.” secret”, he had to keep it secret:
“When we started filming, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ hadn’t come out yet. I learned a lot of little secrets. I remember someone whispering to me that Tony Stark was going to die. Those were the secrets I had to keep.”
The director joked that the secrets were like injecting a small chip into his brain:
“Sometimes they would take me to a soundproofed room in the car park, they would inject a little chip into your brain, they would tell you something and you could just leave.”
Espinosa then revealed:
“You have to know that some things will be affected, but they allow me to develop my own ideas and style.”
Espinosa also discussed his character’s connection to the MCU:
“Mobius was supposed to be a very unique character, an outsider. I wanted to have the opportunity to create my own New York and keep a little bit of my vision of what this side of Marvel should be.”
With “Mobius” and “Venom” relatively independent from the MCU, it’s not clear why director Daniel Espinosa needed to know the big secrets of “Avengers: Endgame.”
Based on what is currently known, Michael Keaton’s Vulture appears to be the only MCU connection in “Mobius”.
Many fans were speculating about “Mobius”‘s connection to “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” but most of the filming of the movie was around the time of “Avengers: Endgame” release. .
At the time, the multiverse was just an unrealized concept, and while the remake may have added some nuanced connections, “Morbius” may have been a little more self-contained.
So far, “Mobius” hasn’t had a good reputation early on, as fans and critics aren’t very optimistic about the film, and the movie may struggle to be a box-office success, which could spell trouble for the character’s future and the Sony Spider-Man universe.
“Morbius” will be released on April 1.
